    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Watch and be amazed as this hybrid blooms in one color and then completely change colors as the flower ages. The 8" blooms open in rich tones of purple and orange and over a day or two change to lighter and finer color patterns. A fine deep red veining accents the multi-colored petals and under high light it flowers continuously with an upright yet contained habit.
